Estimation of Solar Energy Potential Using Sunshine-Based Model for Busa-Baso Kebele, Dirashe Woreda, Ethiopia
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
The purpose of this study was focused on estimation of solar photovoltaic power systems in Busa Baso, Dirashe Woreda, Ethiopia. Solar photovoltaics are being promoted to replace fuel-based lighting and off-grid electrical needs. It was conducted to assess and evaluate the data collections which were administered on selected site. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive survey. The radiation had to be predicted from sunshine hours by employing empirical models. Using data from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), linear monthly average solar radiation has been developed. The paper presents an estimation of the solar energy resource based on the primary data taken between January 2019 and December 2019.
